....Just a quick heads up. A full Virus TI review in Sound-On-Sound coming next month (December issue).

Well I bet Access will be working hard to get a stable OS before that.

You bet. It'll only be a fortnight or so, at most, until the edition goes to press. Then it's expos? time, warts and all.

Am just going to get a much-needed soundcard purchase out of the way (Motu 828mk2 or Traveler. Lol, am using a creative soundblaster at the mo, buaahaha!) then an angle towards a TI may be considered (to replace my Indigo) if the review looks good. I've been spending loads of time on the Indigo recently, and have fallen in love with the sound even more. Not sure how available funds will pan out, though. Hopefully they should have recovered by the time Access design a wavetable editor for the TI Control integration with the synth!

yeah, I would think that the review would have to be done soon, so my guess is that they will be reviewing ver 1.03 or 1.05? No doubt that some of the issues will be mentioned (arps etc) but hopefully they will mention that the os and firmware are in their infancy and are only going to get better.

It would be a bold statement for them to say that the OS will get better - they couldn't possibly guess that. They should say the OS is in it's infancy though.

Keep us posted Timo.

it cant be a very good review if it is based on anything other then 1.05..

This one could be the end of Access.

Bye Bye Access

That's very true. I'm basing that statement on Access's past history with os improvements for their C line (don't know much about the A and B, but guessing it is the same) But you are right, I am speculating and hoping that the os continues to get better as it matures.

I don't think that's a very bold statement at all. Of course Access will improve the OS - that's what they've done since the Virus A, and they'll continue to do so with the TI.
